I pretty much do the same. I sometimes need to install a package for a short while, rather than a quick test, so I have a @temp set I can add these to and clean it out regularly. > > As for depclean, I have added an alias for depclean with --pretend > that I use after world updates.

Why not use --ask instead of --pretend? Then you don't have to copy anything or re-run commands. "emerge -ca" is short enough to not need an alias. -- Neil Bothwick Beware of the opinion of someone without any facts.
